This is a truly lovely location, with gorgeous views of many miles of Tuscan hills, and the rooms and public areas are very attractive. Susanna is an accomplished host and very helpful when asked for information about the surrounding area. My husband had excellent food, but I was disappointed that little preparation or subsequent effort was made for my vegetarian diet, which I had requested when booking.
The pot-holed track to the property was also off-putting.
However, if you follow a normal diet and don't have to travel on the track you would probably enjoy it.
Shame, though.

We had asked our travel agent to find us a "real Italian cooking school" in Tuscany, one that wasn't run by Americans from NYC or Miami. She found Le Boscarecce (which has also gone by the name of "Villa Ravelli") and all of our desires were met. Sitting proudly on a private hilltop estate, this family-owned and operated inn offers; a wonderful clean and comfortable place to stay; the opportunity to participate in a variety of casual yet professional informative instruction in Tuscan cooking, the mysteries of olive oils, the subtle points of matching wines and cheeses; and an ideal location for launching delightful daytrips into the Tuscan countryside to enjoy the breathtaking Chianti region, the intriguing home of Leonardo, Vinci, and many other historically significant villages and architectural sites. The Chef prepares authentic fresh local cuisine served with passion and pride. The sommelier provides an experience of enjoying fine Italian wines and local cheeses that we can only wish were available at home. And the proprietor/hostess makes one feel very much at home while also providing a depth of knowledge of the history and culture of the region that enables full enjoyment of the many excursions recommended. There is a well-maintained large swimming pool and tennis court, should you chose to just kick back for the day. The rooms were clean and spacious with comfortable beds and well-equipped large bathrooms. Our two rooms felt more like a large apartment, as we shared a common area with fireplace, small kitchen, and a sitting/dining area. Our only regret was that we didn't plan a longer stay at Le Boscarecce. We look for our next opportunity to return.

From start to end, staying at Le Boscarecce was a real treat. Susanna helped us with advice for trips in the area supplying suggestions and maps, pointers and tips along the way, and even suggested where to stay overnight on our journey up from Rome. The guesthouse is just lovely, situated in beautiful Tuscan hills, with landscaped gardens - a little bit like heaven on earth. We would love to return and hope one day we will.

We stayed at Le Boscarecce for ten days in November. It was wonderful, the setting is beautiful, the rooms are very clean and comfortable, the food and wine are the best but the best thing is the Ravilli family who go so far out of their way to make your stay a pleasing and unique experience. We are experienced travelers in Italy and usually go twice a year. We will go back to Le Boscarecce and make it the central focus of our stay next year.
